Scope and Contents

McQuaid read in the Sun Father James T. Curran's insolent interview. If Corrigan is to rule his diocese, he must have the necessary power to inflict discipline on recalcitrant priests. The newspaper say Father Richard Lalor Burtsell was suspended and removed from Epiphany. If Corrigan can crush this rebellion by the Father Edward McGlynn faction, he will have won a great battle. Corrigan must send newspapers to the Propaganda, Cardinals Gibbons, Howard, Masella, to Bishops Persico, Ireland, Keane, to Smith, and others he may think of. Burtsell and Curran will fight on another score than McGlynn. Corrigan should make good use of the doings at the meeting of St. Stephen's people last Friday. McQuaid sends a letter showing how McGlynn's revolt affects others at a distance and it should be destroyed after being read. McQuaid has just bought the site for St. Bernard's Seminary —24 acres on the Genesee and 2200 feet on the Boulevard. Price $10,000. Father Edward Hanna will return at the end of the scholastic year. McQuaid thinks they are over looking Hanna. Paul Fuller is at Clifton Springs, and is improving. McQuaid expects to see him and Leonie on Easter Sunday. :: I-1-i A.L.S.Photostat from Archdiocesan Archives of New York 4pp. 12mo.
